If you are smart & review the Lyman cast bullet manual you will note it recommends 451. The Casul & 460SW WILL obturate any load fired filling the cylinder throats, forcing cone, & rifling. Use...

I can tell you the 460 S&W is very nice. Recoil with full loads is impressive, not for those that have issues with the shock... Accuracy at distance can be impressive too. Be aware there are...

I too like siamese in 4570.. 2" groups at 100y with just about anything U can feed & see with Iron sights... More comfortable than Marlins by far....
I too like the heft of the Para/Rem/Rock-Ilse double stacks, finally got a RI3.10. Helps my big hands. Used a Pachymar wrap for decades, comfy. Another is the Real Avid clamshell, has a add on rail...

Traded for a Dillon 400 decades ago, got the 550 upgrade parts. It all works. Had lee, RCBS, Lyman, CH. Now have settled on: Dillon for high volume, not too many adjustments & tweaking to change...

I do agree with the 45 kinda guys. Try the Lee 300g gc at about 1000-1200. My hits with 45 have been whap/crash, No step
Course this option won't work with most semi-autos. For that I suggest the...
Couple years ago I got 3 bx of Hornady 300BO ammo. Things went well at range for a while, but soon I noticed many splits in the case shoulder/necks. This could be dangerous besides the fact it...
Cheap WallyWorld fishnet + ring of copper tubing + net potato sack + couple wire ties + wood base large enough to set ammo can on.

There seems a lot of chat @ single shots; I REALLY like the Contender Super 14, or the carbine of 16" or longer. My early S14 bbl was factory hand lapped & is startling at 100yd. So good I have a...

I really agree about the Mennonite seasoning. Great flavor in correct measure, plus it's Really fresh & full flavor. For some variety ask for some of their rubbed sage, add about a half teaspoon to...

I don't like the reamers, too easy to over do it. Use the old Herters plug & the RCBS, but I can see the Dillon or F/A could be a better tool. Way more expensive for a one time job on primer pockets....

Guys I made a stand up brass catcher from a cheap fishnet, a hoop of copper tubing, 2 wireties, empty tater sack & a block of 4x4. Sits on the bench right next to the rest & catches everything once...

HL & CL,
Years ago I welded a stainless case knife handle on a custom 03 Springfield bolt. Wrapped the body in a wet rag for a heat sink, used a high nickel rod for the weld & air cooled after. It...
I like big bore. Kinda evolved into a 45 kinda guy. Got started with the convertable Ruger, then to 45-70, then 45 WM. (a deer Hammer) From there the Governor found a home.
I really like the S&W 460...
